Good trucks are getting harder to find up here with all the salt they use on our roads.Would like see and maybe meet in future some local truck owners.Mine was built here in Oshawa,pretty much stock with 350 motor and trans.

I am just across the pond from you. I have been looking on the forums. For other people in my area. Was hoping after the winter. I Could connect with some other C10 members and the owners. Around this area. I used to camp at Cedar point State Park. On the St. Lawrence River. Had a lot of fun camping with our neighbors across the pond. Great people.

**Already Gone** · 01-26-2017, 06:01 PM

That is real nice looking GMC you have. Color combo is spot on for that truck.

Nice truck...and from my old stomping grounds, Ontario!
As far as the trucks go...yep...you will be hard pressed to still find an original, driving 'Ontario' truck around.
When I went looking for mine (when I lived there)....I went with a U.S/Texas (rust free) truck.
That was the only way I was going to get what I was after.
It is certainly worth the extra effort in lieu of paying thousands to hopefully remove rust and rebuild a body...at least in my opinion.

Where in Ontario are you? Nice truck by the way.

mikeshome · 01-26-2017, 10:46 PM

Glad to see there are some fellow Canadians here.Thanks for the comments on the truck. I am in the town of Mount Albert its 45 minutes north of Toronto.Iwas lucky to find this Gmc about 5 years ago.It was the way I wanted and that was to get in and drive , LOL.Since then I put a new oak floor in the box and carpet in the cab.Its been very reliable to get me to a lot of cruise nights and weekend shows.It was also a picture perfect truck in the old autos news paper.

Very nice truck. I have a 72 Sierra Grande I have owned since 1981 and I am second owner. Truck to totally original with 285,000 miles on it. The truck is med blue. Just recently a head gasket to blow. I am selling to a guy in Ontario. I live in NC.

Coley · 01-27-2017, 12:19 PM

You are in a good location if you want parts or need some good classic truck advice.
'Bill's Truck Shop'...in Courtice (Oshawa) is just south of you.
Bill is a very knowledgeable guy and has been working on and selling parts for these for many years.....well worth the visit.
all Good

Wow Canadian K10! That is a great looking truck! More pictures please. I like everything about.
My '70 C10 is from the Oshawa plant.

Kennuck · 01-27-2017, 06:21 PM

I like your color combo. X2 on Bills truck Shop great place for parts and fair prices.

Kennuck · 01-27-2017, 06:25 PM

You're about 3.5 hrs from me. Do you have a A&W nearby? Many of them have cruise nights. Ours is every Thursday during the summer.

mikeshome · 01-27-2017, 10:15 PM

Yes Bills is where I get all my parts.I had him get the oak floor kit with the crome strips and my carpet.There is an A&W cruise in Newmarket.I have one I could go to pretty much every night of the week.lol

Kennuck · 01-28-2017, 09:33 AM

I'm sure you have lots of car shows in your area. Do you ever go to the cruise night at Haugen's BBQ in Port Perry?

We have several good car shows down here but the one you should really consider is Bothwell. Over 1200 cars attend and the 50/50 last year was $30,000 each way. It a huge show for a sleepy little town of 900 people.

. I gew up in Uxbridge then bought a house moved to pefferlaw got sick of the city and moved to Huntsville

Shortnwide4x4 · 01-29-2017, 01:14 AM

I'm in Mount Hope Ontario, also about 45 mins from Toronto but the opposite way. I had imported this truck from California roughly 10 years ago after giving up hope of finding a clean Canadian version. After driving it for 3 years I tore it down and rebuilt her.

I had a bad experience at bills, now I prefer to buy from antique chevrolet
